C, Wheeler, today stated that many more men from the farms who can be spared for the winter months, are néeded for jobs in other essential industries. A minimum of 150,000 men are needed, and while the response has been encouraging, requirements have not by any means been met. Instruc- tions have now been received here, having been issued by Arthur McNa- mara, Director of National 'Selective Service at Ottawa, that cach Local Office is to intensify its efforts to in- duce more mgn to accept work off the farm for thé winter. The Director's instructions empha- size the following points: (1) While men from the farms are urgently needed elsewhere, no man should leave.agriculture, if he is need- ed as a farm worker for the winter. (2) Men will, of course, return to the farm once again, when their ser- vices -are required there. (3) Men will he paid the regular wages for whatever job they accept, and transportation will be provided free if a distance has to be travelled. (4) Workers from the farm, already given postponement umder Military Call-up by reason' of being farmers, will. continue on postponement if they|- leave the farm to take other approved In communicating with Selective 'Service Offices, Mr, McNamara said: "This appeal to workers not needed on farms for the winter, is both patriotic and practical, If jobs in the woods, to cut fuel, logs, mine and railway timbers and pulpwood, are not filled, the war efforts, as well our national welfare, will suffer seriously.' The .| same may be said.of employment va- cancies in packing plants, at railway maintenance, in base metal mines, and in coal mines in some areas. Men not needed on the farms for the winter are the only sizeable supply of work- ers we have left to call on in Canada, to get these jobs done this winter. Certainly, it is a patriotic duty for farmers who can do so, to respond. Then, bf course, the wages earned will add to the year's earnings for men who take these jobs. The extra money will help at home," Mr. McNamara on military postponement, where they can take winter jobs off the farm, will really be carrying out the inten- tion with which postponement was granted--so that they may engage at essential work for as much of the year as possible. Mr. Wheeler, the Selective Service Acting Manager, said that where men could not be placed in this locality, they will be given work in another dis- p 3 ' 'points out that young farm workers - trict.
